Is there anyone on the air?

ah yes LAR, I've worked with u guys before. small world

The thing that sticks with me about "oh three walk a lots" is that they are expert sleepers. Is that what you mean by working with LAR? Did you find a new way to sleep in the back of vehicles? You could probably do benifit to this forum by starting a thread titled "how to sleep anywhere anytime".

I went on float once, and they attached LAVs to a heavy weapons platton from 2/9s weapons comany and a platton of grunts from a line company and called the mix "team tiger". All of us in this little mini comapny was sure of one thing. It's better to ride than to walk.

Oh indeed it is, I was fortunate enough to have done a float in a very similar manner, only LAR was attached directly to 1/1 Wpns Co. We never rode with you guys because we had our own trucks. Sleep was near impossible in those things, especially in high heat, but damned if we did try! In the last pump to Afghanistan we were foot mobile 90% of the time, and for all the bullcrap associated with deployment, I'll never forget napping amongst the poppy fields while the mosques played call to prayer. Just surreal.
